This painting shows two people. A woman is leaning over a seated man from the left, with one arm around his shoulder and holding a basket of fruit in her other hand. Her head is slightly tilted as she looks down at the man. She has curly brown hair partially covered by a blue headscarf with a lace border. She wears a white dress with puffed sleeves and a gold necklace, as well as a red cloth draped over one shoulder and down her back. The man is seated at a desk with his body angled slightly to the left, looking upwards toward the woman. He has dark brown sideburns and dark hair. He is dressed in a dark coat with a light-colored waistcoat and a light gray cravat. Both people have pale skin. On the desk are several books, papers, and writing implements, including ink and a wax seal. The man is holding a quill pen in one hand and turning the page of a book with the other. The background features pale greenish drapery and a wooden paneled wall with what looks like a map hanging on the right.
